+7Awesome, I'm going to check it out! :)
[edit] @daleatsafe: I have installed build 16474 but the FBX reader is not there? It's not listed in the gallery. Or do I need to install a prerequisite (e.g. the FBX SDK) to make it work? [/edit]
[edit2] Ah, I was a bit too soon! Build 16475 that was just released apparently ships with the SDK :) [/edit2]

Yes, I was tracking this today and the team advises that 16475 should be good on Windows, and 16477 will see FBX debut on Mac. Let us know how it goes.
+18- Safer
Yes, it is being worked on right now. Should be in betas in 4-8 weeks, likely will be quietly released as part of FME 2016.1.1 sometime in June.
+7Nope, it's in the 2016.1 release and it works quite well. Note though that the reader options are still quite limited (you can only transform to world coordinates) and that there also is no writer yet. But that will all come in time I guess.. In case of the writer: see Dale's comment above. That's probably why this idea still has the "in beta" label.
+13- Supporter
It seams that it is doing a great job as we tested it. Perhaps it is time to change this idea from beta to released perhaps :)
+7Does anyone have or know of an example of an FBX file with a spatial reference? Is that even possible? I can't find examples for those anywhere but I do want to test how and if the "Move to World Coordinate System" option works...
+18- Safer
From what I know, FBX does not natively have a coordinate system. What we've done in FME is optionally support "sidecar" files that might contain this. These typically would only have been produced by FME itself when it wrote such things out. In the case of OBJ files, we have options on the writer to apply a shift to the data going out so that systems that will only honour single precision floating point can still render the data correctly. But FME will optionally write out the shifts applied and the original coordinate system, so that if FME reads that back, we can put things in their place. From the FME Collada documentation:
MOVE_TO_WORLD_COORDSYS
If the value is Yes, the companion
.prj.fwt.daeNote: In the absence of a companion
.fwt.daeglobal.fwt.prjglobal.prjThanks @daleatsafe, good to know that the behaviour is similar to OBJ and COLLADA in that case. Btw, will the FBX reader have some documentation at the next release? :)
